Why go, and how to do it well

Based in Ao Nang, Boat and Beyond operates as a tour agency specializing in boat excursions around Krabi's celebrated coastal landscape. The company offers both private and group departures to destinations such as Koh Hong and the surrounding islands, where guests encounter sheltered lagoons, dramatic limestone karsts, and clear-water snorkeling sites. Private tours make this a particularly strong option for couples, honeymoons, and families traveling with young children, as itineraries can be tailored to the group's pace and preferences.

Tours are guided by knowledgeable local staff who provide information throughout the day without being intrusive. The full-day Hong Island tour is frequently highlighted by visitors as a standout experience, while half-day options offer a more compact alternative for those with limited time. The Ao Nang base is well-placed for travelers staying along Krabi's main beach strip, with convenient access to accommodation and onward transport.

The office is open every day from 9am to 7pm, making it easy to drop in and discuss options or finalize arrangements. Booking in advance is advisable, especially between November and February when demand for tours is at its highest. Visitors should come prepared with swimwear, sun protection, and a dry bag for valuables. Current tour availability and pricing can be confirmed through the Boat and Beyond website before arrival.

Reviews from Google

Our experience with Boat and Beyond was nothing short of magical. From the very first moment, everything felt perfectly organized, relaxed, and premium. The locations we visited were beyond stunning, crystal-clear water, dramatic landscapes, and places that felt straight out of a dream. The food prepared and offered by the staff was unbelievably delicious, honestly, words don’t do it justice. Fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care that it felt like a true highlight of the day, not just a “meal on a tour.” But what truly made this experience exceptional were the people. Rainbow, Aida, and Yah are absolutely incredible humans, warm, attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel cared for, relaxed, and special throughout the entire day. Their energy, professionalism, and heart deserve all the praise possible. This wasn’t just a boat trip, it was a full experience, beautifully curated and deeply memorable. I would recommend Boat and Beyond to anyone looking for something truly special. Thank you for a day we’ll never forget 💙🚤✨

Today my husband and I did a private boat tour around the islands near Krabi with Boat and Beyond, and it was honestly the highlight of our honeymoon. From start to finish, Rainbow, Pingping and Bid were absolutely amazing. Everything was so well organised and their communication was excellent, they kept us informed about timings, locations and what to expect, which made the whole day feel smooth and stress-free. They took us to places we would never have found by ourselves, truly special and untouched spots that made the experience feel private and magical. Rainbow didn’t just offer to take photos, she has a real natural talent and eye for detail. She captured some of the most beautiful moments and memories for us, photos we will treasure forever. If you’re wondering whether this tour is worth it, it genuinely is worth every single penny. We couldn’t recommend Boat and Beyond and this specific tour enough. It was without a doubt one of the most special experiences of our entire honeymoon. 🌴✨

What a great half day tour to Koh Hong and surrounding islands. Couldn’t have been better. Sun, our guide, did a great job answering questions and giving us information without hovering around but was so attentive when needed. A great quality in a guide!! The lunch was spectacular with fresh pineapple, wonderful southern Thai dishes and drinks. The weather certainly cooperated as well. Giving it 5 stars because you can’t give 10!
